Retinal Vascular Density on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Age-Related Central and Peripheral Hearing Loss in a Southern Italian Older Population

Background Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and retinal vessel changes have both been associated to neurodegeneration/dementia, suggesting a possible link between these 2 conditions in older age. We aimed to determine whether superficial and deep vascular density (SVD and DVD) of the capillary plexi of macular vasculature can be associated with peripheral ARHL and age-related central auditory central processing (CAPD). Method We analyzed data on...
